HENRY J. MONTGOMERY, OF SILVERCREEK, NEW YORK.

DISPLAY-RACK FOR CHAIRS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 795,152, dated July 18, 1905.

Application filed November 4, 1904. Serial No. 231,409.

To (I/ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY J. MONTGOMERY, a resident of Silvercreek, in, the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display-Racks for Chairs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enablelothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improved display-rack for chairs and which is more particularly designed for use with rocking-chairs, one of the objects of the invention being to provide an improved supportingrack on which chairs can be easily placed and from which they can be readily removed.

A further object is to so construct the rack that chairs can be conspicuously displayed thereon and so that it will be capable of vertical adjustment to accommodate articles of different sizes beneath the same, and thus result in great economy of space.

With these objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claims. In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view illustrating my improvements. Fig. 2 is an end view, partly in section.

1 represents tubular standards, provided with three or more foot-brackets 2 and adapted to receive the tubular uprights 3 of a frame 4. The frame 4 is composed ofordinary pipe, and the uprights 3 have couplings 5 at their upper ends secured to a horizontal connectingpipe 6. Between the ends of uprights 3 couplings 7 are located and have cross-pipes 8 secured thereto and made to project at right angles to the uprights in opposite directions. These pipes 8 are connected at their ends by horizontal pipes 9 and are connected some distance from their ends by pipes 10 parallel with pipes 9, the pipes 8, 9, and 10 thus constituting the frame 4.

The uprights 3 telescope in standards ,1, permitting the frame 4 to be raised and lowered at will to accommodate articles of various sizes beneath the same, and thus economize space. Collars 11 with set-screws 12 therein may be secured at any point on the uprights 3 and as they rest on the upper ends of standards 1 will hold the frame at any adjustment, or instead of having the collars set-screws may be located in the standards for securing the uprights.

As shown, the forward ends of the chairrockers rest on pipe 10, with the extreme forward ends projected beneath pipe 9, and the rear ends of the rockers rest against pipe 6, which'limits the forward tilting of the chair and holds it in proper position on'the frame. Chairs may be supported at both sides of the frame and throughout the entire length thereof and a great many may be accommodated on a comparatively small frame.

My improvements are of simple inexpensive construction, strong and durable in use, and of great utility and ad vantage to the trade.

A great many slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of the parts described Without departing from my invention, and hence I would have it understood that I do not restrict myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A chair-rack comprising two pairs of horizontal rods, and a horizontal rod located in a plane above and between the pairs of horizontal rods.

2. A chair-rack comprising two pairs of horizontal rods, a horizontal rod located in a plane above and between the pairs of horizontal rods, and means for adjusting the rack vertically.

3. In a chair-rack, the combination of a horizontal frame comprising two pairs of horizontal rods, a rod disposed above and between the pairs of horizontal rods, legs or uprights depending from the ends of the frame, tubular standards into which said legs or uprights telescope, and means for securing said legs or uprights at different adjustments.

secured go-each coupling and projecting outwardly therefrom, and two pairs of parallel rods connecting the lateral rods on one upright with the lateral rods on the other upright.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. V

HENRY J. MONTGOMERY.
